Message by "Victor R. Prada" <vprada@gentoo.org> of 7-28 in this list. In case 
you will have difficulty finding it I am attaching it at the end.
However I should note that I did not see this topic come up lately too much. I 
hope that reference will help you. 
Also, the one mentioned is really a graphical interface, based on anaconda, 
and IMHO having another ncurses based one might be nice too.

Hello everybody

About a week a go i'd upload an iso image of an Gentoo Linux GUI 
Installer. Anyone who wants to test it can download it from
http://gentoo.latinux.org/latinux_gentoo_installer/Gentoo_latinux_internet-01.img

The installer will install what i call a "Gentoo Base System" that have 
everything needed to begin to work with Gentoo. If you want you can even 
remerge the system optimized to your machine.

Thanks
VМctor Prada

P.D. About 300 people has already download the image (or at least try to 
do it), people with nvidia cards will need to begin the instaltion 
without frame buffer mode typing "nofb" at the inital boot prompt
